    I think Mr. Carrey could have been a bit nicer to the people in my country who have provided him with a very good living for basically being a clown. I find this video to be both inaccurate and mean spirited. Between this and his anti-vaccine stance, I think I have seen my last Jim Carrey movie.

    Okay, first off--it's comedy. Chill. While I don't think that it's necessarily all that "in good taste" to mock a dead man for his statements...Heston was a public figure and the same thing happens to other public figures all over. (Gee Dubya, and Tom Cruise come to easy mind.)

    And second...he's what, a has-been for the last half-decade or so. Anyone to get a little attention would be my guest. And he's another pseudo-new agey type. (His belief in the law of attraction --a la The Secret.)

    Why, exactly, is that?

    It's not bad, not as brilliant as some are hyping it as. I'm told Heston was the one who turned the NRA from a group of responsible gun owners into a lobby of nutters so if so he deserves everything he gets.
    Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

    He was with his famous "You will have to take this gun form my cold dead hands"

    I was always so very disappointed that Charlton Heston, with all is celebrity, chose to take the fruit loop path when he could have done a huge service to all Americans with a more considered path.

    If it was actually funny, I would agree that as comedy I could give it a pass. To the rest of ya'll, while I may not agree with the NRA all the time, I am what you would call a "gun nut". It comes from being raised in the western US and actually using guns to protect and feed myself. I have found that some urbanites and non-US types folks have no idea what that is like. That's fine and you are entitled to your opinion. Mr. Heston was a mouth piece and the public face of the NRA. Not much else. I stand by my statement about Mr. Carrey.

    Guns are an important (and often vital) part of country life, it doesn't change the fact that Heston turned a responsible gun-owners association into a rabid lobby group whose intransigence is ultimately self-harming. I'm not overly fond of Carrey either (I think I've seen two of his films in the past ten years, A Series of Unfortunate Events and A Christmas Carol).
